Aircraft Configuration and Go-Around
At the time of the go-around, the aircraft was configured with full flaps and the carburetor heat was on. The student pilot added power without turning off the carburetor heat. The airplane then pitched up.
Flap Retraction Attempt
The pilot attempted to retract the flaps but was unsuccessful. The aircraft subsequently stalled and crashed approximately one-quarter mile short of the runway.
Outcome
No information about injuries, fatalities, or aircraft damage was provided in the source. The accident occurred during a training flight.
